Focused! Very, very focused on what his future is all about! Four o’clock in the morning is our new go-to hour and Owen was ready to party. He was very excited about all the things that would happen over the next thirty years. I’m not quite sure when adulthood became a priority for him but it is good to see him planning his future. Hyper was the word of the day and we got that covered. Well, one of us did and the other was a little more focused on where and when the sleep train would arrive again.
To say Owen talked a lot this morning and wanted to go outside to wait for the bus was an understatement. He had one thing on his mind and that was to get to school. OK, so he had a lot more on his mind but explaining to him that the bus was not going to be here for several hours was not something he wanted to hear. He was on a mission. And he wanted to know about it all. He was off and he was ready. I put the new silicone ring on his finger and the stick on his other finger. I’m surprised he walked out the door with them and I will be surprised if he gets to school with them. I’m not sure why he was so anxious today but he is ready for his day. He told me several people were out so that might have been on his mind and he wanted them back. He was asking about his friends all night. When his ducks are not in a row they are not where they are supposed to be and they better come back. Hopefully today the ducks are there.
In no time it seemed like he was home again and on today’s focus, we discussed who he kicked and who he sat by. I think one is what he actually did and the other I think he likes to get a reaction from me. He was wound up but also calm. It was an interesting mix for sure. He wanted his snack and to sit. The talking started not much after that and once again continued all night long.
I didn’t confirm with him about tomorrow. He wanted to know if he would be going to his grandma’s house. I tried to explain to him that she was feeling better but we had to wait until morning to make sure he could go. Plus I told him he had to sleep and no screaming in the middle of the night. The screaming has been in full swing again so I told him that we wouldn’t know until morning.
He started discussing the years ahead again. I want him to focus on today but I’m glad he is seeing all the possibilities and I am very proud of him. Each step forward is a big step forward. I pray for sleep for both of us tonight. It has been a long week. I love hearing his laughter. It’s the best part of my day. Let laughter fill your heart and be the melody of your life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
